User talk:QovulwBot
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
 |
This user account is a bot operated by snpoj (talk).
It is not a sock puppet, but rather an automated or semi-automated account for making repetitive edits that would be extremely tedious to do manually. |
This bot will target institution capitalization as described in Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style#Institutions
It will remove the incorrect capitalization on "University" in phrases such as :
the University will
the University offers
the Univesrity is
the Univesrity does
etc.
the University <verb>
I think there will be very few false positives on this if any. This bot will be automated and I will provide it with a list of pages to check based on a google search of for several of the above phrases on wikipedia.org. It will edit no faster than one page per forty seconds and will stop when it runs out of sites to check (for the first several runs I plan on doing 50-100 pages). It is programmed using Python and the pywikipedia framework.
This bot is managed by snpoj.
[edit] This is a automated to all bot operators

[edit] Automated message to bot owners
As a result of discussion on the village pump and mailing list, bots are now allowed to edit up to 15 times per minute. The following is the new text regarding bot edit rates from Wikipedia:Bot Policy:
Until new bots are accepted they should wait 30-60 seconds between edits, so as to not clog the recent changes list and user watchlists. After being accepted and a bureaucrat has marked them as a bot, they can edit at a much faster pace. Bots doing non-urgent tasks should edit approximately once every ten seconds, while bots who would benefit from faster editing may edit approximately once every every four seconds.
Also, to eliminate the need to spam the bot talk pages, please add Wikipedia:Bot owners' noticeboard to your watchlist. Future messages which affect bot owners will be posted there. Thank you. --Mets501 04:46, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
